Oracle Apps Order Management - Overview of Defaulting Rules

Overview

Order Management Defaulting Rules reduce the amount of data input required when entering orders or returns. You can define business rules for defaulting values, and prioritize how conditions and validation rules are implemented. If a defaulting rule definition fails to default desired values for orders or returns, you can choose to define additional defaulting rules for most attributes (fields) within Entities such as Order or Line.

•        Defaulting refers to the supply of a value for a field that has no value.

•        You can create and modify defaulting rules to improve the efficiency and accuracy with which you enter orders.
